Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"To be back in the organization that I came up in, that I was drafted by, to have gone through the rebuild that we did and to have left when I did and being able to come back and be in the World Series last year and hopefully repeating ... not only being there but winning a championship this year with this team, would be a pretty cool story. That’s the goal, that's the hope. I'm just grateful for the opportunity to be able to come back here and be on this team that has given me so much in my baseball career. I'm trying to do everything I can to be healthy and stay on the field as much as I can. Like I said, the goal is to win a championship. Whatever I need to do to help this team do that, that's what I’m looking to do." - Castro, Jason. Castro's goal for potential final season: World Series title. McTaggart, Brian. MLB Staff Writer. 25 March 2022.
